| - Kind of underwhelming, given the hype this place gets. You're pretty much paying for the atmosphere and the view, which is admittedly beautiful, relaxing, and classy. They also had a live piano player dishing out Christmas tunes, so that was nice.
Service was lacking. When we did have the attention of our waitress, she was very courteous and informative. As soon as she walked away from the table though, it would take her forever to come back and check up on us, especially when it came to paying the bill.
The food was alright, but nothing spectacular. I dove into the lobster bisque with great expectations (I blame you, yelp) and was let down. The calamari app was average at best. My two lobster tail dinner was good enough but again, nothing special, with two very disappointing sides (potatoes and spinach). My girlfriend had scallops in sweet potato sauce with gnocchi and spaghetti squash. I enjoyed that dish very much for its nice combination of strong flavors. I would say the only thing that truly stood out to me though was the oysters a la carte. I was worried because they were very small... but they ended up being the best oysters I've ever had. BY FAR. Do try them if oysters are your kind of thing. For dessert, we had the caramel apple cheesecake. The presentation was impressive, as they pitted an apple, filled it with cheesecake, topped it with caramel popcorn and caramel drizzle, and had a nice, complimentary "happy birthday" sign made out of white chocolate.
It's definitely a classy, intimate place to take a date. I enjoyed the experience, but the food was mostly average.
